Victorian Pedestal Basin in Warm Gold Washroom / Powder Room
This vitreous china Victorian pedestal basin looks beautiful in this warm elegant golden powder room / wash room setting.
Its simplicity is its beauty and it is enhanced by its fine detail in the trim and gold taps and faucet.
The rest of the interior is highly textured using the mottled metallic gold wallpaper, glided mirror toning with the porcelain and gold hardware.
Whilst the powder room interior is simple and elegant there are also a number of missing elements. While using the pedestal is a very beautiful idea, there is a distinct lack of storage and even a placement area for personal items such as make up and brushes.
A shelf above the basin could suffice and be either in porcelain, gold or glass.
The second item that is vitally important in a bathroom, powder room or bathroom vanity area is lighting and it must be used effectively so that it is aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. For example the ability to light up the person in front of the mirror.
This is easily achieved by placing halogen down lights either side of the mirror either mounted in the ceiling or to each side on wall mounted fittings. The most important part of the lighting is that has to be each side of the subject so there is no shadow.
Other items missing are a hand towel holder, essential when washing hands and one of the items that is often overlooked as it is small and usually lacks design integrity, but it is a functional part of a washroom.
The marble side table top looks slightly overwhelmed in this interior, the warm gold glow of the room leaves the table looking cold and static.
One thing that is pretty cool in this bathroom / powder room or washroom interior is the integrated light switch or power outlet, it is positioned to the left of the mirror and is barely visible. It is great what manufactures are thinking of now to make sure our interiors are flowing and uninterrupted by functional items. Imagine what a white light switch or power outlet would look like in this room.
